Waiting times at major A&E departments at worst ever level

09/02/2018

Their warning came as Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, said the NHS had had its worst winter, and as statistics showed further deterioration in hospital performance.

Many patients also faced long delays as they were handed over from ambulance to A&E, with nearly 30,000 people waiting over an hour since the beginning of this winter. It is also the only time extremely long "trolley wait" figures have breached 1,000.

Mr Hunt added that "significantly more" money would need to be spent on the NHS to ensure services could cope with demand.

But in an interview with ITV News, he refused to apologise to under-pressure NHS staff, adding: "When they signed up to go into medicine, they knew there would be pressurised moments".

'I take responsibility for everything that happens in the NHS.

The "worst flu season in years", which has claimed the lives of more than 200 people, has been blamed for piling pressure on over-stretched A&E departments. Others have warned that "distressing scenes of patients in corridors on trolleys have become an all too familiar sight this winter".

"It follows the Prime Minister's freakish comment last month that cancelled operations were "part of the plan" for the NHS and that "nothing is perfect".

The figure is a slight improvement on December, when it was 85.1 per cent.

At Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, 68.9 per cent of all A&E patients were seen within four hours last month, down from 79 per cent in December.
